STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Removing the accreditation of the Yeshiva of Staten Island in Pleasant Plains is the latest goal in a social media campaign by a woman seeking to obtain a religious divorce from her estranged husband, who is part of a prominent Staten Island Jewish family.

Gital Dodelson's Facebook page is urging her supporters to contact the Rabbinical Council of America in Manhattan and push for removal of the accreditation of not only the Yeshiva of Staten Island but its affiliate, Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem in Manhattan.

Ms. Dodelson's previous demand via Facebook was to have her estranged husband, Avrohom Meir Weiss, removed from the Yeshiva of Staten Island, where he studies. Rabbis related to the Weiss family are affiliated with both yeshivas. Avrohom Meir Weiss is a great-grandson of the late Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, a renowned scholar and spiritual leader of the Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem

A "get," a Jewish bill of divorce, is given by a husband and received by his wife in order to end a Jewish marriage. Without a get, neither party is permitted to remarry according to Jewish law. An agunah is a woman whose marriage has functionally ended but whose husband refuses to give her a get, said the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot, which has advocated on Ms. Dodelson's behalf.

Ms. Dodelson first asked Avrohom Meir Weiss for a get four years ago, and their civil divorce was
finalized in August 2012. Ms. Dodelson claims on her Facebook page that
Weiss refuses to grant her request unless she agrees to myriad
conditions. Both Ms. Dodelson and Weiss live in New Jersey.

"For those of you just joining this conversation, I'd like to reiterate that RCA is an ally," says a posting on Ms. Dodelson's Facebook page.

"They are a champion of Agunot. We are contacting them to give them the communal support they need to remove the MTJ and YSI's accreditation."

Another Facebook post lists the address and phone number for the Rabbinical Council of America, with the question, "Have you contacted the RCA today?"

Rabbi Yosaif Asher Weiss of Prince's Bay, who has defended his son and family against accusations by Ms. Dodelson, has taken a leave of absence from Artscroll publishing house, which was another target of a boycott promoted on Ms. Dodelson's website.
